Thwaite IN for Socceroos Selection

Qantas Socceroos head coach Holger Osieck has named a 26-player squad for the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers against Japan (4 June – Saitama), Jordan (11 June – Melbourne) and Iraq (18 June – Sydney).

Perth Glory defender Michael Thwaite has been selected in the Socceroos Squad for the team's upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.

Thwaite will be in line to play at next month's World Cup Asian Qualifiers against Japan (4 June - Saitama), Jordan (11 June - Melbourne) and Iraq (18 June - Sydney) as the team looks to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

Qantas Socceroos captain Lucas Neill returns to the squad after missing the last match against Oman through suspension. Also returning to the Qantas Socceroos squad after various periods of absence are Josh Kennedy, Sasa Ognenovski, and Mitchell Langerak.

The Qantas Socceroos are currently in third position of Group B and need positive results from their remaining three matches to secure a top two place in the group to guarantee automatic qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

The upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifier between the Qantas Socceroos and Japan, Jordan and Iraq will be broadcast exclusively live on FOX SPORTS with SBS TV as the exclusive free to air broadcaster for all three (3) matches.
